Cliff Burton is making an appearance
So I have started the painting for my sissy. I sketched the canvas two weeks ago and today I added some white for the face and arms. I find that a little help is not what I want when I'm trying to be creative, just trying to get into the groove, some people don't realize that they are hovering. We as artist have a vision and our own way of doing things, so I want all of him in the picture, I'll figure it out how to get the parts the way I want, somehow. It's a process, I'll find out the way like you do and the thing about me, well I like imperfections for some things and maybe just finding an imperfect way of painting him is what I am all about. It's an extension of yourself and I'm going into this portrait! So far it's not much and I don't expect anyone to really look at this and see what is on it's way but it's a start. It's not much but there it is.

Well another layer has gone down, of course there is a long way for it too go, to look the way I want and I will be busy all this week so he will have to wait until say monday or so. Her favorite color is red so I thought I would give some red throughout, I believe adding another layer of white over and in between some of the red will look nice, I might even do a few layers and build up the oil a bit. This is like my third oil painting. So he gets the weekend to dry while I visit the zoo.
